The first time it gets wet from rain or washing the bike and the water gets into the connection, it might not be good. Same thing with high humidity plus a few mites. The conductors are not even 1mm apart and most RJ connectors are only rated for 24 gauge wire. Really, I don't think that would be the best selection in a fairly hostile environment. I suppose if it were kept way hidden and far away from any opening it MIGHT sorta work, but that isn't very convenient either.
Keep in mind that I deal with RJ connectors every day (in dry, temp/humidity controlled areas), I have installed thousands of RJ cables/devices and made hundreds of RJ terminations. Even a USB plug would be better in most every respect (except they are not locking).
